Review

Beautiful course. Most of the course is on a bike path which is in good condition, and the only road section was extremely scenic with no traffic at all. Very well organized with plenty of well-staffed aid stations every 3 km or so. Obviously you don't get much crowd support at a race this small, but there were a handful of extra people cheering at every aid station. Only downside is that the wind coming off the river is pretty significant. We had a headwind the whole way this year but I imagine the course would be PR material with a tailwind.

Race Tips

The course doesn't feel quite as flat as it looks on the profile. There were lots of short but steep rollers around kms 25-35. Despite being net downhill that section felt the hardest.
